Kauai in photos

After a second plane required not one but TWO maintenance fixes, we arrived over 24 hours late but in one piece. As I have only gone to the islands in the winter, I quickly found that summer sunlight exposure is viscious. I have chronicled my sun woes in Melanin Challenged and a twenty minute swim the first day left me with a huge sunburn. I have been slinking around in the shade ever since! Thankfully we are on the north side of Kauai at the Westin Princeville, and it is often partly cloudy or scattered rainshowers.

These are miscellaneous photos of the area around our villa!

The overlook from the villa to the ocean. What a view!

Do I look relaxed yet?

Pools are nice in short bursts of activity!

Sunrise and two slightly sleepy faces. Kauai is 5 hours off our time so I am up at 6 am and in a coma by 7 pm!

Crazy gorgeous scene from across our villa! See the waterfall?

Mom, Jen and Me squinting into the sun

Hanalei Bay….beach time! The water is so shallow!

We can see this lighthouse from our villa

Kauai is quite moody with amazing cloud formations

If you ever to go Kauai, DO YOUR HOMEWORK! I learned a lot that will help me the next time I go, IF I ever go again. The island is the most beautiful I have ever seen. That is the only positive. Loads of family drama, I almost took the first flight back a few days into the trip. Got better after I had a meltdown. Really sad that I have to go postal for some harmony. I ended up just staying away from everyone for most of the trip unless I had to be with them. Sad memories.
